Eddy was famously very shy and withdrawn in the late 90s and early 2000s, this isn't stupid at all. He himself admitted it.

Not what Bryan's saying though. I suppose if you're generous, he's saying Eddie didn't figure everything out until WCW, which I guess you could maybe argue that in AAA and NJPW a lot of the work was done by the accoutrements (the stars and stripes gear and Art being a shithead on as well as off camera in Mexico and the Black Tiger mask in Japan). Bryan's not saying he had a crisis of confidence in 1998. He's saying he didn't have charisma until 1996.

On the other hand watch the promo where Eddy unveils the Latino World Order and compare that to anything from his 2004 run. The difference in confidence is otherworldly.

Like you can say that’s down to the quality of the angles but by the time he was in his late 30s Eddy was able to get the Custody of Dominick storyline over, he had really ascended to another level.

But the other side of that is, is Alvarez claiming that Angel Garza now is as good as Eddie at his peak? I assume not, I assume he was just making a really bad comparison forgetting how good Eddie actually was in his Los Gringos Locos or even Filthy Animals days.

What Bryan is saying is a rephrasing of what Dave says, which is that it is tragic Eddy didn't develop that charisma until his body was breaking down. This isn't something he just arrived at on his own it came from talking to Eddy to and how Eddy felt about his career.

I'm trying to figure out when year he's saying Eddy developed that level of charisma in.

1997 WCW heel turn was a decade in like Angel is now, so that doesn't work because the comparison is pointless.

If he means a decade on American TV before breaking through in WWE...maybe? He starts on WCW TV in 1995 and his big breakthrough in WWE was 2003 so...close enough...maybe?

The latter makes more sense but if that's what he means, it's still stated oddly.

Assume he means breaking through in WWE because that's the period Dave talks about the irony of him developing incredible charisma right when his body broke down. The timeline doesn't make sense because hey it's Bryan.
